Taron Johnson (born July 27, 1996) is an American professional football cornerback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Weber State Wildcats and was selected by the Bills in the 4th round of the 2018 NFL draft.
Johnson primarily plays as a nickelback and has therefore been an instrumental part of Bills head coach Sean McDermott's base nickel defense, among one of the league's strongest units against the pass. He was named a second team All-Pro in 2023, namely for his play as a slot cornerback.
